Hi, friends.  Coming to you now from Toronto, Ontario, where I am staying for a week in between tours (the ladyfriend resides here). 

Before traveling here, I had the good fortune to tour with the Brad Walker Quartet/Quintet through Louisiana and Texas (Baton Rouge, Austin, Houston, Lafayette, New Orleans) with a host of formidable human beings/musicians.  I managed to personally record all but two of the shows; the other two were professionally recorded and filmed, so there should be plenty of great material from our short venture.  A big thank you to Brad and the guys who made the magic happen: Oscar Rossignoli, Sam Wiseman, Brian Seeger, Chris Alford, Simon Lott, Reagan Mitchell, and Larry Max.

I'll be back in New Orleans late-night on Monday (tomorrow), and hitting at the Saturn Bar on Tuesday night with the Cliff Hines Band.  We'll be packing up right after the gig to hit the road for a 5-week tour to the West Coast and back (details here).  If your city is a stop on the tour, come see us/hang with us/dig the music.  I love traveling, and getting to know new people is one of the best parts, so please join us if we're in your area!
